Until now I was comfortable with GRUB legacy, but now I add a FreeBSD install to my machine and against the claims at

GRUB legacy does not boot FreeBSD (until now). I was thinking of
grub 0.97 does boot FreeBSD. I have Arch Linux and FreeBSD 9.0 running on an old (circa 1999) laptop and boot both using grub. In case it's of any use to you, here's my grub.conf/menu.lst entry:
title FreeBSD rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1

That is not GRUB booting FreeBSD, that's GRUB chainloading FreeBSD's bootloader. -- Leonardo Dagnino
